Transparency Code for smaller authorities
The transparency code for smaller authorities came into effect on 1 April 2015. This code mandates that smaller councils with an annual turnover not exceeding £25,000 must publish specific financial and administrative information online, making it accessible to the public. The goal is to provide taxpayers with a clear understanding of the authority’s activities, spending, and governance, thereby enhancing the community’s ability to hold local public bodies accountable. Compliance is required for all parish and town councils with a turnover not exceeding £25,000.
Starting in April 2015, parish and town councils with an annual turnover not exceeding £25,000 must publish the following information online:
All items of expenditure above £100 (included in minutes)
End-of-year accounts, annual governance statement, internal audit report.
List of councillor or member responsibilities
Details of public land and building assets
Minutes, agendas, and meeting papers of formal meetings.
